Tsubaki turned her head to the original Zabuza, her eyes narrowed to slits. Widening his eyes a memory flashed itself into his mind.

--- A small blonde girl just barely reaching four feet stood there, her eyes scarily blank. And her ivory scarred skin soaked in crimson blood. "Master has ordered me to eradicate all that live in this area mist ninja. Move or you shall meet the fate of this town." Her voice was dead.

A true living tool. It sent shivers down the swordsman and chunin spines. This child was unnatural. Was so far in this world that the child cannot be called such. It was an item. A tool to be used by her so called 'Master'. "I cannot allow you to do that." He said, the small girl looked up, boring her icy blank eyes into his black orbs.

"And why is that Demon of the Hidden Mist? My orders are absolute. Move from my way or die." Her killing intent then reined its terror down chilling him and the chunin squad behind him.

The aura of it was so strong that it materialized as an image. A demon black sharp jutting teeth, drooling crimson blood, its red orbs boring down at them in hunger. It was a true demon. Its sick miasma leaked flooding the air with the choking smell of decay and iron. The air became thick and gravity felt ever so heavier with it in their presence. Bile rose in the chunin's throats as they fell to their knees.

To keep himself from being affected by this true demon he coated his body with his own weaker killing intent. Looking down at his subordinates he witnessed them becoming crazed. Slowly losing their minds before one of the weaker ones couldn't take it any longer and dived a kunai into his skull, right through his left eye. The others curled into themselves choking to death. Before they all fell lax, unmoving.

The little blonde girl didn't even bat an eyelash as one dropped into a puddle of fresh blood made from a civilian corpse, splashing the girl in another layer of blood. "Who are you?" Zabuza questioned taking his Kubikiribocho from its harness.

"I have no name..." She said simply bending her legs the slightest bit. Her metal broken shackles jingling at her simple movement. Zabuza snorted, tightening his grip on his beloved sword. "You got to be called something."

"A title? Oh. Then yes I carry one. That book of yours the bingo book has bestowed me the title 'Reaper's Shadow'. Now Mist ninja. I must kill you for proving an obstacle to my mission."

Zabuza felt sweat glide its way down his forehead as his throat closed the slightest bit. This was the Reaper's Shadow? That name was just added into the Mist's bingo book. Hefting his sword in front of himself he prepared to fight.

Dashing forward the small blank blonde appeared above him, her left leg extended for a kick. He saw the trace of chakra in it. With narrowed eyes he flowed chakra into his sword and threw it up to block. The metal shuddered under the force. Gritting his teeth he tightened his grip ignoring his wrist ache. Not blinking at this failed attack she leaped off the Kubikiribocho.

Landing onto the blood covered floor silently and gracefully. Her stained golden locks flowing behind her gently in a graceful way.

He twitched in annoyance. The way she moved, her presence itself was both serene yet terrifying at the same time. Gritting his teeth once more he charged, slashing his blade down the girl ducked, before doing a handstand and flipping backwards on to his shoulders.

Crossing her legs around his throat, she tightened her grip. He couldn't do anything. His body still in rotation from slashing empty air. He glanced over his shoulder, wide eyes catching a glimpse of the devil cloaking the blonde girl bare body. He saw her uncaring blankly glowing cerulean orbs as she reached forward her small hands on each side of his head

Just as she was going to snap his neck killing him. A young preteen, with long white hair, and sickly pale skin appeared before them. He was also coated in blood. A bone-what looked like the spinal cord in his hand drenched in crimson.

"Leave him experiment. We have finished our mission. We must head to our lord now." His voice was soft and bored sounding. "Yes, Kimimaru..." The blonde instantly release Zabuza, sent a hard kick to his head and left just as the swordsman lost consciousness. ---

Zabuza stared at Tsubaki in shock. Before he began to chuckle in a sadistic matter. "After nine years I see you once more." Tsuki looked at him with narrowed eyes. "I see you remembered me." Her voice was cold. It sent shivers down the genin and civilian's spins. It was the voice of a true shinobi...blank, uncaring, cruel...

"I've wanted a rematch for all these years, killed so many 'Reaper's Shadows' and finally we bump into each other by chance." He said sending a larger wave of water clones to her.

"I'm not the same person I was back then. I've learned to be human. But if you wish to fight me in that state then I shall. As long as you do not touch those genin." She said glaring her cerulean eyes into his black ones. "Fine." He said simply.

Behind her back she sent some hand signals to her brother. Reading them Naruto understood what to do in an instant.

Walking to Sasuke he helped the shocked Uchiha up from the group and began to whisper a plan of action into his ear. The boy looked at Tsubaki before back at Naruto and nodding in agreement sourly.

Love, Kisacatdemon~
